[Rhodes22-list] Speed monitoring

[Mike Riter]

I use the Navionics app on my iPad (and iPhone as backup). Since Garmin now
owns Navionics, you can also access active captain to find local services.

 The iPad is attached to the starboard bulkhead handrail via a ram mount
system with an adjustable arm so I can change the angle. Glare on the
screen is the biggest issue with using a tablet or phone for navigation.
